By now, everyone in the boxing world knows that Tyson Fury defeated Deontay Wilder last night to retain his WBC Heavyweight belt. Fury is one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time, and last night, he proved that he can dominate against a fighter like Wilder, who is known for his devastating knockouts. In the end, it took Fury 11 rounds to knockout Wilder, although his performance was more than impressive.

The fight as a whole was truly amazing, and in the eyes of many, it is a classic bout that will forever be remembered for some key moments. In the clip below, you can find an alternate angle to that winning knockout.

Prior to the fight, Drake gave some words of encouragement to Fury, saying “This is a video for the most psycho man that I know. He’s mad in his head, but he has the purest heart, nicest guy. The Gypsy King, the scariest man in boxing.” Of course, Drake is known for putting a curse on the athletes and teams that he supports, so it had some fans thinking that Fury would end up losing.

In the end, the opposite took place and fans were quick to take note of this on social media. In the tweets below, you can see numerous fans express their jubilation for Fury, noting that he finally broke the Drake curse. As it turns out, he also defeated the Versace curse, which was a known affliction in boxing.

Needless to say, Drake must have been a proud friend while watching the fight last night.

She may have had some doubters at first, but after watching her Saturday Night Live debut last night, there’s no denying that Kim Kardashian was made to entertain. During her opening monologue, the 40-year-old landed all of her jokes, and even threw some subtle comedic shade at her famous family members.

“I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he’s the richest Black man in America. A talented legit genius who gave me four incredible kids,” she said of her husband, Kanye West, at the start of the show.

“So, when I divorced him, you have to know it just came down to one thing: his personality.”

All jokes aside, Kimye has been spending plenty of time together as of late, working on reconciling their relationship. The rapper headed to New York City with his wife earlier this week, and apparently even helped her write her hilarious monologue.

Even Kris Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, wasn’t safe from Kardashian’s SNL roasts.

“The one thing I’m really proud of is that no one can call me a gold digger. Honestly, I’m not even sure how you become one. So I asked my mom’s boyfriend Corey,” the American socialite said with a smile.

Of course, Kardashian also joked about her own past, referencing the sex tape that helped her skyrocket to fame.

“When they asked, I was like, ‘You want me to host, why? I haven’t had a movie premiere in a really long time,” she said, followed by laughter from the audience.

“Actually, I only had that one movie come out, and no one even told me it was even premiering. It must have slipped my mom’s mind.”

Urban Meyer was already off to a bad start with the Jacksonville Jaguars as his team is off to an 0-4 start. However, things went from bad to worse last week as Meyer was seen flirting with a younger woman at a local bar. This video ended up going viral and it has caused quite the stir within the Jaguars organization. Meyer is reportedly on thin ice, and it seems like one more false move will lead to his dismissal.

In fact, a new report from Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports paints a grim picture of the Jaguars head coach. According to sources around the team, Meyer is looked at as a complete fraud and that his own players are laughing behind his back. He doesn’t have their respect, and this latest incident has only alienated him from the locker room.

Per La Canfora:

“He’s not coming back from this,” said one league source who is very close to several players on the Jaguars team. “There wasn’t much confidence in him in that locker room before this went down. Now? It’s over. Guys are laughing at him. He’s lost any respect he may have had. They think he quit on them.”

The agent for another key Jaguars player said: “He is a laughingstock in that locker room right now. (My client) said he’s a con man. They think he’s a fraud. How do you not fly home with your team?”

This is not good news for Meyer, who now has to face his team this weekend as they look to nab their first win. Without the respect of his team, this Jaguars squad could very well go 0-16, although you figure that Meyer would be fired before that could happen.

There isn’t a fanbase that’s as dedicated as NBA Youngboy’s. YB Better has turned into a marketing catchphrase for the rapper after the outpour of memes and troll accounts that litter that exact phrase under practically every other rapper’s comment section including Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston Hottie fired back at her trolls on Twitter yesterday, tweeting, “YB Better” and “you fell off… period.”

The timing of the tweets arrived days after Kodak Black called her out, again, for the “drive the boat” phrase which Yak popularized following a viral clip. Given Yak’s previous tension with Youngboy, it seemed like a few people perceived Meg’s tweets as some sort of shade towards the Broward County rapper. 

Producer Dyryk, who is responsible for many of Kodak Black’s hits including “Killing The Rats”, took to Instagram where he put Meg on blast for the series of tweets she sent out. The producer said that he has sat in on her “writing camps” before bashing her ability as an MC.

“@theestallion been in your writing camps with all your “go-to writers.” You are definitely not the talent behind any of your records,” he boldly claimed. “Go cling on that bottle and re-cut that verse one more time, you didn’t match the reference they wrote for you.”

Megan addressed allegations of using ghostwriters back in 2019. After Wolftyla claimed that she went uncredited for her efforts on “Simon Says,” Megan and Juicy J issued statements denying the use of external songwriters for the song. 

While in New York City for his wife’s stint on Saturday Night Live, Kanye West has been catching up with plenty of old friends, including Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour. According to Hollywood Life, the two were seen enjoying an outdoor lunch together at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village.

It’s unclear exactly why they got together, but Wintour has been a long-standing supporter of West’s fashion endeavours, regularly sitting front row at his Yeezy Season shows in the past. Both stars were also recently featured in a special episode of The Simpsons, which premiered before Balenciaga’s Paris Fashion Week show.

As per usual, the rapper put together an all-black outfit, consisting of a hat, sunglasses, a t-shirt, a single-breasted blazer, gloves, casual pants, some very heavy looking shoes, and of course, headphones. 

The 71-year-old fashionista opted to embrace one of this season’s favoured colours with a long, burnt orange coat worn over a colourful top, a yellow maxi skirt, sunglasses, and what appears to be a pair snake print high heeled boots. Opposites attract, am I right?

The day before he was seen with Vogue’s long-reigning leader, West headed to Sant Ambroeus on the Upper East Side to catch up with Michael Cohen, also known as the former lawyer of Donald Trump.

Cohen is currently on house arrest after facing conviction for lying to Congress, committing finance fraud, and tax evasion. He’s technically supposed to be in jail, but was released in May of 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns.

While West was socializing around the city, Kim Kardashian was busy working 20-hour days in preparation for SNL. The mother of four made her hosting debut last night, meaning she’s the first member of her family to have such an honour.

Russell Wilson is among the top-tier quarterbacks in the NFL, and he is one of the most valuable players to his own team. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that fans were devastated by his finger injury from Thursday night. The day after his injury took place, it was revealed that Wilson would have to miss up to two months of action as the injury is one that requires surgery.

Now, Geno Smith will be the team’s starter, which isn’t exactly a good thing when it comes to the team’s playoff chances. Despite everything that has happened, Wilson remains eager to get back on the field, and now, he is getting some positive news about his finger.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, there is hope within the Seahawks organization that Wilson will only have to miss four weeks. The original prognosis was 6-8 weeks, but that has now been changed. Football players are warriors in their own right, and when it comes to healing injuries, they typically like to speedrun the process, so this news isn’t all that surprising.

Of course, setbacks do happen, so it’s important for Seahawks fans to remain cautiously optimistic here. Stay tuned to HNHH, as we will provide more updates on Wilson as new information comes to light.
